2. Hold the chain-saw firmly with both hands.
6. HOW TO START - STOP THE ENGINE
EN
To respect people and the environment:
– Try not to cause any disturbance.– Scrupulously comply with local regulations
and provisions for the disposal of wastematerials after sawing.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulationsand provisions for the disposal of oils, dam-aged parts or any elements which have astrong impact on the environment.
Always wear suitableclothing when using the machine. Your deal-er can provide you with all the information onthe most suitable accident-preventiondevices to guarantee your safety.
It takes specific training touse the machine for felling and delimbing.
CHAIN BRAKE
This machine comes with an automatic brakethat stops the chain when kickback occurs dur-ing cutting.This brake can be operated manually by pushingthe front guard forward. To release the brake,pull the front guard towards the handgrip untilyou hear a click.
Do not use the machine ifthe chain brake does not function correctlyand have it inspected by your dealer.
CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION
The chain tends to stretch gradually as youwork, so you need to check its tension frequent-ly.
Never work with the chainloose, as it can be hazardous if the chain slipsout of its guides.

CHECKING THE OIL DELIVERY
Never use the machine with-out lubrication! You can check the oil level in thetank through the transparent gauge. Make sureyou fill up the oil tank every time you use themachine.
Make sure the bar and thechain are in place when you check the oildelivery.
Start the engine and check if the chain oil isdelivered as shown in the figure (Fig. 13)..
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND CUTTING TECH-NIQUES
Before felling or delimbing for the first time, prac-tise sawing logs on the ground or on trestles, sothat you can get familiar with the machine andthe most suitable sawing techniques.
Always hold the machinewith both hands when sawing.
Stop the engine immedi-ately if the chain stops during sawing.Beware of kickback, which can occur if thebar contacts an obstacle. Kickback occurs when the tip of the chaincomes in contact with an object or when thewood contracts and jams the chain duringsawing.This contact with the tip of the chain cancause a rapid backward motion, pushing theguide bar up and towards the operator. Thisalso happens when the chain is jammedalong the upper part of the bar. In both cases,kickback can cause the operator to lose con-trol of the machine, leading to serious conse-quences.

• Delimbing (Fig. 14)
Make sure there is nothingor nobody in the area where the branches willfall.
1. Stand opposite the branch you want to cut.
2. Start cutting lower branches followed by thehigher ones.
3. Cut downwards to prevent the bar from get-ting jammed.
• Felling (Fig. 15)
When felling on slopes,always stand uphill from the tree and checkthat the felled trunk cannot cause damage ifit rolls down the hill.
1. Decide where the tree should fall – youshould consider the wind, the natural lean ofthe tree, the position of the heaviest branch-es and how easy the work is after felling, etc.
2. Clear the area around the tree and find a sta-ble place to stand.
3. Plan obstacle-free escape routes at a 45°angle back and away from the direction offall. These routes must allow you reach a safearea at a distance of about 2.5 times thelength of the tree to be felled.
4. On the side of the fall, mark a felling notcharound a third of the trunk’s diameter.
5. Cut the tree on the other side, slightly abovethe bottom of the notch, leaving the uncutwood to act as a “hinge” (1) of approx. 5-10cm.
6. Reduce the thickness of this hinge withoutpulling out the bar, until the tree falls.
7. In particular or unstable conditions, you cancomplete felling by inserting wedges (2) onthe opposite side of the fall, and hitting themwith a hammer until the tree falls.
�! WARNING!
�! WARNING!
• Bucking (Fig. 16)
Be careful of where thebranches are lying on the ground, the risk ofthem being under tension, the direction thebranch may go during cutting and the risk ofthe tree being unstable after the branch hasbeen cut.
1. Check the direction in which the branch isattached to the tree.
2. First cut on the side where the branch bendsand then finish cutting on the opposite side.
• Sawing logs (Fig. 17)
It is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper.
1. Dig the spiked bumper into the log and use itas a pivot. Cut with an arched motion to makethe bar penetrate the wood.
2. Repeat several times if necessary, changingthe point where you plant the spiked bumper.
• Sawing a log on the ground (Fig. 18)
Cut up to half the diameter, roll the log over andfinishing sawing on the other side.
• Sawing a raised log (Fig. 19)
1. If you are sawing the overhanging end of asupported log (A), first cut a third of the diam-eter from the bottom upwards, then finishfrom the top.
2. If you are sawing between two supports (B),cut a third of the diameter from the top down-wards, then finish from the bottom.
END OF OPERATIONS
When you have finished your work:
– Switch off the engine as indicated above(Chap. 6).
– Wait for the chain to stop and then mount thebar cover.
�! WARNING!
USING THE MACHINE 9
Correct maintenance is essential to maintain theoriginal efficiency and safety of the machine overtime.
During maintenance oper-ations:– Unplug the machine from the mains.– Use protective gloves when handling the
bar and chain.– Keep the bar protection devices on, except
when intervening directly on the bar or thechain.
– Never dispose of oils or other pollutingmaterials in unauthorised places.
ENGINE COOLING
To avoid overheating and damage to the engine,always keep the cooling air vents clean and freeof sawdust and debris.
CHAIN BRAKE
Regularly check the efficiency of the chain brakeand the condition of the metal band around thedrum.
Replace this band when the points in contactwith the drum wear down to about half the thick-ness of the two ends not subject to rubbing.
CHAIN SPROCKET (Fig. 20)
Regularly check the condition of the sprocketand replace it when wear exceeds 0.5 mm.
Do not mount a new chain with a worn sprocketor vice-versa.
CHAIN CATCHER
This is an important safety device that restrainsthe chain if it breaks or degrooves.
Regularly check the condition of the chaincatcher and replace it if it gets damaged.
�! WARNING!
NUTS AND SCREWS
Periodically check that all the nuts and screwsare securely tightened and the handgrips aretightly fastened.
SHARPENING THE CHAIN
To ensure that the chain-saw works safely and efficiently, it is essentialthat the cutting components are well-sharp-ened.
Sharpening is necessary when:
• The sawdust looks like dust.• Cutting becomes more difficult.• The cut is not straight.• Vibrations increase.
A specialized centre will sharpen the chain usingthe right tools to ensure minimum removal ofmaterial and even sharpness on all the cuttingedges.
If you sharpen the chain yourself, use specialround-section files with the right diameterdepending on the type of chain (see “ChainMaintenance Table”). You need a certain amountof skill and experience to avoid damaging thecutting edges.
Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 21):
– Disconnect the machine from the mains,release the chain brake and secure the barwith the chain in a vice so that the chain canrun smoothly.
– Tighten the chain if it is loose.– Mount the file in the guide and then insert it in
the tooth at a constant angle from the cuttingedge.
– Sharpen in a forward motion a few times andrepeat this on all the cutting edges facing thesame way (right or left).
– Turn the bar over in the vice and repeat on allthe other cutting edges.
– Check that the limiter tooth does not stick outfurther than the inspection instrument and fileany projecting parts with a flat file, roundingoff the edge.
�! WARNING!
10 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE EN
8. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
– After sharpening, remove all traces of filingand dust and lubricate the chain in an oil bath.
Replace the chain whenever:
– The length of the cutting edges reduces to 5mm or less;
– There is too much play between the links andthe rivets.
BAR MAINTENANCE (Fig. 22)
To avoid asymmetrical wear on the bar, makesure it is turned over periodically.
To keep the bar in perfect working order, pro-ceed as follows:
– Grease the bearings on the nose sprocket (ifpresent) with the syringe.
– Clean the bar groove with the scraper.– Clean the lubrication holes.– With a flat file, remove burr from the edges
and level off the guides.
Replace the bar whenever:
– the groove is not as deep as the height of thedrive links (which must never touch the bot-tom);
– the inside of the guide is worn enough tomake the chain lean to one side.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
All maintenance operations not foreseen in thismanual must be performed exclusively by yourdealer.
All and any operations performed in unautho-rised centres or by unqualified persons will total-ly invalidate the warranty.
STORAGE
After every work stint, clean the machine thor-oughly to remove all dust and debris, and repairor replace any faulty parts.
The machine must be stored in a dry place awayfrom the elements and with the bar cover cor-rectly fitted.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE 11EN
